Decatur Summer Camp Registration Opens January 2​

Posted in Community, tagged , , , , , , on December 9, 2020 | Leave a Comment »

Summer Camp 2021 registration opens January 2 at 9 a.m. online. Look for the Camp Edition of the Playbook on the City of Decatur website on or after December 10 to plan and select your camps for Summer 2021.  Note: The City will use a new software system for camp registration in January 2021. See instructions below for how to create a new family profile in CommunityPass.

How to prepare for Summer Camp Registration:

  1. Create Your City of Decatur Family Account in CommunityPass – the City’s new software for Active Living and Children and Youth Services programs.  Visit the CommunityPass website and select “Create an Account”.
  2. Add family members to the account in the My Account > Account Information area.  Ensure all campers have been entered.
  3. Complete the Summer Camp Information and Release Form before January 2 at 9 am. The form is a pre-requisite to registering for camp so completing it ahead of time will expedite your registration.
  4. Spend some time with the Camp Playbook and map out some first and second choices for each camper in your household.  Check out pages 10-11 for week by week camp options, grades and ages, etc.
